That's "Invisible Man" Ralph Ellison holding the tray.

Ayn Rand supplied the opium but avoids its use.

Aldous Huxley penned a note to say he found a better den serving newer drugs, and would not longer be attending.

Hemingway was out hunting or fishing or sumth'in like that, he rarely attends.

Hunter Thompson ... well he, Jack Kerouac and Ken Kesey were probably leaving that "newer" place Huxley was heading off to, in search of other odd ventures.

Well, the book discussions are better here than on DemocraticUndergrond where they would be trumpeting their new favorite book “Drink. Smoke. Occupy.”

It’s not like most of those writers were on the list. Hemingway is about the least ‘dreamy’ writer you could find.
